Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 140: There is a ghost in my heart, so I am afraid

"How can I trouble you two adults with this matter..."

Zheng Quan still wants to fight for it again.

If the witches from the Discipline Department were to intervene, not only would he not be able to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, but some of his subordinates might also be found to have problems.

Although the people under him may not necessarily collude with demons or foreign spies, they have done a lot of things such as accepting bribes and colluding with gangsters.

After all, what works and what works is effective.

However, before Zheng Quan could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by Witch Officer Jiang.

"It is our Discipline Department's duty to investigate the traitors. Moreover, since this involves the secret realm, why would we bother?"

After a pause, Witch Officer Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Or does Chief Secretary Zheng not want our Discipline Department to intervene in the investigation?"

Zheng Quan was shocked and quickly denied it: "That's not true! Absolutely not!"

At this moment, he could only comfort himself in his heart: It's just a check on the officials, not me, what is there to be afraid of?

At the same time, Zheng Quan was thinking quickly, if someone under his command was really found to have some problems, what should he do to completely sever his ties and remove himself from involvement?
"Please sit down for a moment, Mr. Wuguan. I will go and gather all the people in the county government office and have them go with you to the Wu Temple for investigation."

Zheng Quan planned to take advantage of the opportunity to call his men to give some instructions, asking them to keep their mouths shut and not to speak carelessly when being examined by the witch officer!

If any problems are really discovered, you have to bear the responsibility yourself and not involve him.

As long as he is not involved, he will help take care of these people's wives, children and parents.

However, at this time, Zheng Quan heard Jiang Wuguan say: "Not only the officials, but also the two of you, you must follow me to the Wu Temple to be examined."

"Ah? We also have to be investigated?" Zheng Quan was stunned.

"of course."

Witch Officer Jiang nodded and repeated what someone had said before: "As the chief officers, you should set an example! This way, the people below you won't have any complaints."

Zheng Quan's expression changed instantly.

Although he did not collude with demons or foreign spies to seize the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain this time, he had done a lot of bad things in the past.

Bribing superiors, colluding with gangsters, forging merit and demerit records...

Each of these things is a serious crime!

It would be fine if the wizards from the Discipline Department only investigated whether there was collusion with demons or foreign spies, but it would be terrible if they also investigated these things.

Zheng Quan was scared, but he didn't dare show it.

He could only comfort himself in his heart: "Now is a special period. Both the imperial court and the Witch Academy have to maintain the stability of Luoshui County. They will definitely not investigate these things. Even if they do, they will turn a blind eye. I still have time to make arrangements...

Damn it, there are too many witch officials in Luoshui County now. If I continue to stay, although I have the opportunity to make merit, it is also easier to capsize. Maybe I should apply for a transfer instead of getting rid of Shanglu. "

Just when Zheng Quan was feeling extremely confused, Shang Lu arrived at the third class courtyard.

He did not follow Officer Jiang to the lobby of the county government office. It was enough for the county magistrate and the chief clerk to have Officer Jiang present, so it would be of no use if he followed them.

When they arrived at the Sanban Courtyard, Shang Lu asked several squad leaders to gather all the newly recruited yamen runners and militiamen to the empty dam in the yard.

Liu Zhi continued to watch the interrogation in the prison.

Du Feng followed him to the third shift courtyard and stood beside Shang Lu, staring at the newly recruited yamen runners and militiamen with a fierce look.

Captain Niu came quickly to Shang Lu and bowed to report: "Sir, the newly recruited yamen runners and militiamen have arrived."

"it is good."

Shang Lu nodded and ordered: "Everyone, follow me to the Wu Temple and accept the examination of the Wu official!"

When they heard that they would have to go to the temple to be examined by the witch officials, most people were nervous but not afraid, because they really had no problems. The only thing they were worried about was whether there would be any mistakes in the examination.

But there were also a few newly recruited yamen runners and militiamen who looked panic-stricken.

They did not dare to go to the witch temple to be interrogated, and immediately shouted that they wanted to leave, and even tried to incite the emotions of others.

"Sir, the county lieutenant doesn't trust us!"

"We are not afraid of life or death, and we want to contribute to the country, but what we get in return is suspicion and hostility! Brothers, don't you feel disheartened? It's better not to be such a mission!"

"They don't trust us, so why are we still here? Brothers, let's go!"

"Walk?"

Du Feng held the knife and said sarcastically, "Do you think the county government is a toilet? You can come and go as you please?"

Hearing this, Niu Butou and others around him all rolled their eyes.

The county government is a toilet, then what are we? Shit? Can you use your brain before you speak? Don't always sacrifice a thousand of your own lives to kill eight hundred enemies!

Shang Lu's gaze was not only fixed on the people who were shouting and making trouble, but also on a few people who were huddled in the crowd, not saying a word but with flickering eyes, looking around for a chance to escape.

At the same time, he shouted: "Catch the person who is making the noise!"

"Leader!"

Du Feng responded loudly and rushed into the crowd to grab the person.

Seeing this, Niu Butou and several other squad leaders were not willing to be left behind and rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers.

Although those people who were making a lot of noise and shouting wanted to resist, they were no match for the squad leaders, not even Du Feng, and were quickly taken down.

At the same time, the few guys hiding in the crowd wanted to slip away in the chaos.

But as soon as he slipped out of the crowd, he was stopped by Shang Lu.

"Where do you want to go? If you have nothing to hide, why are you running?"

These people were startled at first, then looked at each other, and rushed towards Shang Lu with roars, trying to work together to capture Shang Lu and take him hostage and leave.

However, they overestimated their own strength.

They had just rushed out a few steps roaring when they felt a huge force sweeping over them. Before they could even see the figures, they were knocked away by "bang bang".

After landing, I felt severe pain all over my body, as if all my bones were broken. I could no longer move and could only lie on the ground wailing in pain.

This sudden change caused some commotion among the crowd.

But Shang Lu's thundering methods made them dare not act recklessly.

Shang Lu asked several squad leaders to send the arrested people to the prison for interrogation. He then glanced at the anxious crowd and said in a deep voice: "It's just a routine inspection. As long as there is no problem, there is no need to worry. Those who are shouting and making trouble and trying to slip away are obviously guilty!"

After hearing this, the newly recruited yamen runners and militiamen felt a little more at ease.

But when they left the yamen and went to the witch temple, they were surprised to find that it was not just them, the newly recruited people, who had to go to the witch temple to be examined by the witch officials.

Those experienced officials in the county government also have to go to the witch temple.

Even the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the Shang county lieutenant who had just shown off his skills in front of them and deeply shocked them, had to go to the witch temple to be interrogated with them.

Thus, the last bit of resentment in their hearts disappeared.

However, Zheng Quan's heart was full of resentment.

He stared at Shang Lu, thinking angrily in his heart:

My revenge hasn't even started yet, and you've already taken action?! How come I didn't realize before that you were so decisive and ruthless?!
